OK, Frank I could use your expertise here and anyone else with these cat engines....
The port engine has been dieing intermittently lately... I believe the power to the fuel solenoid is the culprit. I ran a fused jumper wire from the positive side of a battery to the positive side of the solenoid and it ran perfectly last time out.... the solenoid was replaced last season as the problem arose then too, but I thought the new solenoid solved it.... Evidently not.... Any ideas here ? Before I call the diesel mechanic and start wracking up $75/hour....
Thank you in advance, Mark
